Mayor
Enfield Council is addressing Councillor Mohammad Islam's non-compliance with conduct sanctions regarding his past Mayoral role.
Enfield Council's Councillor Conduct Committee is considering further action against Councillor Mohammad Islam in November 2025, following his non-compliance with sanctions imposed in August 2025. These sanctions directed him to provide a written apology, attend code of conduct training, and stop wearing his past Mayor's badge.
The sanctions followed a complaint, raised by Councillor Ergin Erbil, that Councillor Islam used his position as Mayor or Deputy Mayor to support visa applications. The committee found in August 2025 that Councillor Islam had breached paragraphs 7.1(v), 7.1(ix) and 7.2 of the code of conduct.
The Mayor is a civic role within Enfield Council, held by Mohammad Islam from May 2024 to May 2025. The initial complaint arose after the Home Office contacted the council in May 2024 to verify a letter submitted as part of a visa application.
